Supreme Lord of Towers

Dragon Elephant Peak, within Ye Chen’s residence.

”Foster father, foster mother, Duanmu Ying and Duanmu Lang are both dead, and soon I will also kill those Duanmu family members who once wished to harm you, avenging you.” A cold gleam shot from Ye Chen’s eyes.

Just now, due to lack of time, he only killed Duanmu Ying, Duanmu Hui, and Duanmu Lang, these three high-ranking members of the Duanmu Family.

However, this does not mean he will spare other strong members of the Duanmu Family.

As long as they once sought to harm him and his foster parents, he will not let a single one go.

”Unexpectedly, Chen’er has grown to this extent, even having the ability to slay Duanmu Ying,” Ye Ming couldn’t help but remark, his eyes full of deep satisfaction.

It’s worth mentioning that over half a year ago, Ye Chen was still an ordinary person with a shattered dantian, devoid of any cultivation.

But now, he possesses the power to kill a peak Celestial Spirit Realm expert.

This growth rate is truly astonishing.

He believes that given some more time, Ye Chen will surely become an Immortal.

”Hmph! What’s so impressive about that? Compared to his parents, he’s still far behind! His father at his age was already an Immortal long ago.” At this moment, a girl in black clothes sneered, her expression extremely disdainful.

Ye Chen’s father, Ye Qi, even among the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family, was a once-in-a-century incredible talent.

At the age of ten, he awakened a Celestial Bloodline, and by thirteen, he became an Immortal of the Divine Mansion Realm.

And Ye Chen!

He is already sixteen or seventeen, yet his cultivation is only at the First Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm, truly embarrassing his parents.

”What? You know Chen’er’s father?” Ye Ming’s body suddenly trembled, staring at the black-clothed girl, his expression extremely shocked.

”Miss, who exactly are you?” Even Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, his tone incredibly solemn.

At the age of six, he was brought by his father to the Celestial Flame Dynasty.

Except for Ye Ming and Xiao Hui, no one knew their true identities.

Yet this girl in black seems to know his father.

Could it be she was sent by the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family?

But, if she truly was from the Ye Clan, she should have directly killed him, how could she possibly help him?

”You few step aside for a moment, there are some matters that you aren’t qualified to know.” The black-clothed girl didn’t rush to answer Ye Chen, instead, she coldly spoke to Ye Ming and Ouyang Xue, her brows full of overwhelming pride.

”Alright!” Ye Ming and the others exchanged glances and promptly left the hall.

Buzz!

The next moment, a green Divine Talisman shot out from the black-clothed girl’s body, swiftly burning in mid-air.

Immediately afterward, the entire hall was enveloped by a massive barrier, completely isolating Ye Chen and the others from the outside.

Even Immortals of the Divine Mansion Realm cannot discern the situation here.

”Miss, can you tell me now? Who exactly are you? Why save me?” Ye Chen hurriedly asked the black-clothed girl, his expression full of curiosity.

He could sense that this girl in black harbored no intent to kill him and was very likely not an enemy.

Otherwise, with her power, she could have killed him countless times over, why wait until now?

Of course, one cannot be too cautious.

Since being betrayed by Ye Lin’Er, Ye Chen no longer easily trusts anyone; if anything seems wrong, he will surely retreat into the Human Emperor’s Space at the first opportunity.

”Ye Chen, do you recall the Quasi-God Family, the Shangguan Clan?” The black-clothed girl’s dark eyes intently fixed on Ye Chen, bringing him immense pressure.

”Shangguan Clan? Could it be, you belong to the Shangguan Clan?” Ye Chen’s figure violently trembled, his expression incredibly excited.

Though he had left the Ye Clan of the Divine Spirit Family at six years old.

The memories before the age of six were still vividly etched in his mind.

Among them was a segment concerning the Shangguan Clan.

The Shangguan Clan is an extremely ancient Quasi-God Family in the Southern Heaven Domain, founded by a terrifying Quasi-God.

A sect of immortals like the Azure Sky Immortal Sect has never produced a Quasi-God throughout history.

This shows just how illustrious the Shangguan Family once was.

However, there is still a considerable gap between the Shangguan Family and a Divine Spirit Family like the Ye Clan.

After all, the founder of the Ye Clan was a true Divine Spirit. Even though this Divine Spirit no longer exists in this world, the Ye Clan still has Quasi-God realm experts overseeing it, and there may be more than one.

Therefore, even the Shangguan Family must bow before the Ye Clan.

As for Ye Chen, the reason he knows about the Shangguan Family is because his grandfather, Ye Xuan, was a close friend of the Shangguan family head.

When Ye Chen was still in his mother’s womb, this close friend of his grandfather betrothed his granddaughter to Ye Chen through an arranged engagement.

Moreover, after Ye Chen turned three, his fiancée often visited the Ye Clan to play with him.

At that time, Ye Chen didn’t understand what a fiancée meant; he only knew playing with her was a lot of fun, and he hoped it could last a lifetime.

But unfortunately, good times didn’t last long.

In the year Ye Chen turned six, the patriarch of the Ye Clan suddenly ordered all the clan’s experts to hunt down his mother.

It was also that year he was forced to leave the Ye Clan, and from then on, he never saw his fiancée again.

It wasn’t until now that the words of the girl in black unlocked the chest of his memories.

”Yes, we are from the Shangguan Family, and my lady is your fiancée from the arranged engagement! Only, I never expected my future husband to be such a pitiful wretch who can’t even awaken his bloodline. I truly feel my lady is unworthy of you.” The girl in black sneered coldly, her lips filled with mockery, utterly disappointed in Ye Chen.

”I see, no wonder you helped me. Has your lady been well these years?” Ye Chen suddenly realized and quickly asked.

As for the girl in black thinking he was pathetic, he didn’t bother to explain.

After all, currently, he was indeed weak and not even the opponent of the girl in black.

Therefore, it was normal for her to look down on him.

His dantian had been shattered by a Ye Clan expert in his childhood, and it wasn’t until this year that it began to recover.

Otherwise, he would certainly be much stronger than the girl in black now.

”Oh! You still care about my lady? Do you know how miserable her life has been these years?” she said, her teeth grinding together in unbearable grief and fury.

”What? Isn’t Zitong’s talent among the top in the Shangguan Family? The Shangguan Family should protect her with all they have, so what happened?” Ye Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned somewhat unsightly.

Although he had been separated from his fiancée Shangguan Zitong for ten years,

he could never forget that exquisite little girl with an incredibly bright smile.

He had been truly happy in those years playing with her.

So, learning his fiancée had a miserable life, he couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken.

”Sigh! Ye Chen, the Shangguan Family was wiped out by the Tuoba Family three years ago. Only my master, mistress, and my lady narrowly escaped!” The mysterious elder with the Bronze Mask couldn’t help but sigh, his tone filled with extreme anger.

”How could this be? Isn’t your Shangguan Family a Quasi-God Family? How could they be wiped out?” Ye Chen’s face drastically changed, filled with incredulity.

A Quasi-God Family, in the Southern Heaven Domain, was a colossal power, even more terrifying than the Azure Sky Immortal Sect.

Except for the Six Great Sacred Lands and those Divine Spirit Families, there were few forces capable of annihilating a Quasi-God Family.

Yet now, the Shangguan Family had actually been wiped out.

How could Ye Chen believe this?

”The Tuoba Clan, too, is an ancient Quasi-God Family and a mortal enemy of ours. Previously, with your grandfather backing us, the Tuoba Clan dared not touch us. But after the incident with your grandfather ten years ago, the Tuoba Clan began acting without scruples. They plotted for years and finally annihilated our Shangguan Family three years ago,” the girl in black said through gritted teeth, her eyes turning crimson.

”What did you say, something happened to my grandfather? What on earth happened?” Ye Chen’s face turned ashen, almost deathly pale, as he involuntarily reached out, gripping the girl’s shoulders and shaking her vigorously.

The girl in black suddenly became rigid, her mind blank, clearly not expecting Ye Chen to act this way.

However, she didn’t shake Ye Chen away because she understood his feelings.

After all, his grandfather was immensely important to him.

His grandfather had an accident; of course, he couldn’t accept it.
